Circa CT1, Nundah

This eight storey commercial tower represents the first phase in the implementation of Arkhefield’s Circa Nundah Village master plan , which has been designed to the principles of transit oriented development—one of the first such initiatives in Brisbane.

With Energex secured as the master tenant, and Arkhefield designing the workplace for their new Northern Metropolitan Office, the project included a fully integrated interior fitout—enhancing and seamlessly combining the two projects. (See Circa Energex NMO.) Arkhefield also designed a second, smaller office tenancy in Circa CT1 for Powerlink.

The building design is a response to the subtropical climate and the surrounding low-rise built environment. Environmentally sustainable design was a guiding philosophy for the development and key tenant, with the building achieving a Five Star Green Star rating. Sequences of horizontal and vertical panels and louvres provide sun shading, while blending the development with the local built environment.
